Forecasts

Havana Notion (16/5), Pulse Of Shanghai (7/2), Trishuli River (9/2), Gobi Star (13/2), Geological (7/1), El Bello (8/1), Stop On Red (11/1), Circles (16/1), Nibras Rainbow (20/1), Memorial Verse (20/1), James Henry (20/1), Irish Rumour (22/1), Sadiqaa (25/1), Poet's Pride (28/1), Cherry Bloom (28/1), The Fog Horn (28/1), Static Charge (80/1)

TRISHULI RIVER found improvement when second over C&D last time and a tongue strap could bring about further progress, so she's preferred to the in-form Pulse of Shanghai, with Geological also considered.
